E-filing. Need to know the name of the number I need to look for.

This is my first time filing for myself. I want to e-file but didn't have the number from last years tax return to do so, so I figured I would mail in. NY requires to e-file. I'm wondering what the name is of the number I need to e-file, and how do I e-file when I already opted to mail in on turbo tax. Thank you!

I'm assuming that the number you're TT is looking for is the Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) from your prior year federal tax return.  If you had used TT that year, the number would have been automatically populated for you, but because you didn't use TT you'll have to go to the prior year's paper return and get the number.  I hope this answer helps.
